TUTORIAL: Quickly getting started with NodeMCU / ESP8266 12E - In 7 mins! Beginner Friendly! Arduino

My website link for downloads (if any are present), etc:

This is a short, easy, beginner friendly tutorial on how to get setup with the NodeMCU. I tell you a little bit about the NodeMCU, then I show you how to very quickly set it up. I show you how to set up the Arduino Software and I go through how to get the blink sketch working - In 7 minutes! The NodeMCU is basically an ESP8266 mounted on a break out board.

Featuring a special guest at 2:30. :-)

Thanks! As a beginner with the 8266 it was very useful, and on my first try it worked like a charm! It's only 10pm but I'm feeling it will be a long night. :)

Thanks for the very clear instructions, Antony. I've only just received a couple of these ESP8266 NodeMCU v3 boards and I now have a led blinking on D7. I have used a lot of Arduinos and so I was happy to learn that I could program the ESP8266 boards using the same method.

It worked! I was able to load Blink (as a test to see if everything is working) to the board! Thank you, you wonderful human! Also, your child's babbling is absolutely adorable. :)

I love how you put subtitles for what the baby was saying 😂 that was cute. Also thanks for the tutorial.

[PaulMurrayCanberra]

Thanks for this. Hopefully, I shall now be able to do my fishtank light thingy that I have been promising to do for a while for this dude.

Thank you for this clear and simple tutorial.

[DanDC]

It worked! It actually worked! Thank you so much! Mine had a built-in LED so I left it like it was, and it worked!

[shrikumar]

I am going to subscribe to your channel just coz u added subtitles for the baby's voice. Super cute. Great video :)

[anotherledfreak]

Bloody lifesaver! I just couldn't get my NodeMcu to do anything(afaict) and the internal led is just USELESS. I honestly thougt it was duff. Once I changed the code to D7 (and then D6 just to be sure) everything is great! Now for some serious coding. Many thanks!!!
